Jayleen's Alaska

Hi! My name is Jayleen Beedle, I am the owner/operator of Jayleen's Alaska. At that time I started running myself around the inside passages in Juneau, Alaska.

Voted Juneau's #1 Water Tour 2023 & 2024 | We are the small boat choice for whale watching in Juneau, Alaska; a personalized experience with only 6 passengers per boat I chose the name Jayleen's Alaska because I want to share with you just that--my experiences and love of the place I have called home my whole life. Having grown up on remote Shelter Island (one mile away from mainland Juneau), I ha

ve 22 years of Alaskan life to share with you. My dad (better known as one of the founders of Harv and Marvs Outback Alaska) Jay Beedle, bought me my first boat when I was 11 years old. This inspired a deep love for the water and captaining boats. At 18 I earned my 50 ton license through the United States Coast Guard and for the last four years I have worked for Harv and Marvs Outback Alaska as a captain on 6, 12 and 18 passenger boats. By choosing to start Jayleen's Alaska I hope to share with each passenger the inspiring landscape and wildlife that is such a huge part of my life. Choose and ride in a custom built 26' Raider--that has a maximum capacity of six. This small size keeps tours personal and flexible. Whether you are a whale enthusiast, a bird watcher or a landscape photographer--we can accommodate your interests and needs. With that said there is a 100% Humpback Whale guarantee included into each reservation made--or your money back! Feel free to contact us via email or phone with any questions or concerns you may still have after perusing the website. I look forward to meeting you out on the water! Sincerely,
Jayleen Beedle

It's hard to get Capt Jayleen to keep a straight face 😆

Come as strangers, leave as friends! There is just something about watching nature on a small boat that brings people together 🥰

The adolescent Bald Eagle will stay this brown, mottled color for 4-6 years until they finally get to the age where the feathers on their heads & tails turn white; I loved how the snow capped mountains just happened to be in the background as this young Bald Eagles spread its wings 😃

The view from our 'Office' window doesn't get taken for granted ♥, we feel so lucky to be able to live & work in this beautiful place!

Humpback Whales often seem like solitary creatures but the more that we observe them, the more regular interaction we witness between whales! Bubble Net Feeding is a good example of humpback whales that seem to prefer to feed cooperatively when good conditions allow - it is rare & special to see in the Juneau area - and when this behavior shows up you can almost feel the overall excitement coming from everyone on the water!

On January 1st, 2025 the Northern Lights came to visit - ringing in the New Year so well 🥰🥰

That look of determination! I think this fish was right about the maximum weight that the Eagle could fly with - it continued to skim the surface of the water until it reached the very edge of the beach before landing & pulling the fish up the beach to enjoy its meal 🤩

Unpopular opinion: Backlit whale photos are the best kind of whale photos 🤩 😁

It’s our favorite thing when everyone leaves the cabin of the boat to watch wildlife with no windows between them & nature 🥰🐳😃

That look 👀😆
Steller Sea Lions can be intense but where we see them around Juneau they are usually play fighting; practicing for the next year’s mating season.

Shutting down our engines & watching whales swim as we float is one of our favorite things to do. It helps to slow everything down, to listen & respect these wild creatures ♥️

That look 👀 Did you know that eagles have eyesight over 10x, the best human eyesight?! Incredible raptors & so proud to have them as our National Bird; living in a place where they are so frequently seen is amazing 😊

Orcas travel in matriarchal pods, their family - taking care of each other as their babies grow & learn - this care is one of my favorite details about these apex predators of the ocean ♥️

Sound on 🔊😆 These sea lions were talking up a storm - I can just imagine what they were saying! 😂

Sound on 🔊 We do our best to help you get that dream photo of a Humpback Whales tail (aka Fluke) by letting you know when we think that whale is going down for a terminal dive; by the end of our tours you’ll probably be able to predict a dive for yourself but our captains are happy to help in the meantime 😃 🐋 📷

The family that watches wildlife together smiles all day long 😆😃😃😃 With our 6 passenger boats we specialize in experiences for the whole family ♥️

The Sea Lions aren’t often pulled up on shore…but when they are it’s usually a pretty LOUD experience 😅 • Video taken September 2024

Sound on 🔊 Love the sound of whale breath, rain & the ocean - and also the silence of everyone on board, watching. We were all in complete awe 🥰 • Video taken June 2024 • -Our vessel adheres to NOAA Fisheries Alaska Humpback Whale Approach Regulations and does not intentionally approach whales within 100 yards. -As a proud member of Whale SENSE (whalesense.org), we are committed to responsible whale watching practices. All photos were taken in compliance with established guidelines and regulations.

Sometimes when the weather is good & the whales are feeling talkative & the moon, the sun & the stars all line up in perfect order….we get to hear the whales chatting to each other 🥰🥰🥰 • Videos taken summer 2024 • • • • • • • • #alaska #alaskalife #juneaualaska #juneau #juneaulife #whales #humpbackwhale #humpback #insidepassage #mountains #custom #private #captainalaska #pacificocean #blue #mountain #ocean #jayleensalaska #captainjayleen #heralaskalife #heralaskaadventure #storiessawitfirst #yestraveljuneau #TravelersChoice @tripadvisor

On repeat please 😍😍😍

Sound on for epic rain noises ☔️ #rainforest #alaska #wildlifedoesntmindtherain 😃

All of these videos were taken during tours in 2024 - we routinely see 3 major glaciers & 1 tiny glacier (as long as the wildlife brings us to those areas & as long as the clouds aren’t uncharacteristically low, covering the glaciers)! Mendenhall Glacier, Herbert Glacier & Eagle Glacier are the 3 major glaciers we have the chance of seeing; if we’re lucky there may even be a whale in the foreground 🤯🙂 • • • • • • • • • • #alaska #alaskalife #juneaualaska #juneau #juneaulife #whales #humpbackwhale #humpback #insidepassage #mountains #custom #private #captainalaska #pacificocean #blue #mountain #ocean #jayleensalaska #captainjayleen #heralaskalife #heralaskaadventure #storiessawitfirst #yestraveljuneau #TravelersChoice @tripadvisor

Another ‘whales breathing’ video 😅 I’ve been missing our giant ocean friends a lot lately & these videos, with sounds of them breathing just make my day ♥️ Anyone else counting down the days until summer 2025? 🙂🙋🏼‍♀️

Whales like Wicked too 🤩🧙‍♀️😁

Always special to see some Harbor Seals camped out 🥰 sound on for an epic Bald Eagle call in the background 🔊 Video taken October 2024 • • • • • • • • #alaska #alaskalife #juneaualaska #juneau #juneaulife #whales #humpbackwhale #humpback #insidepassage #mountains #custom #private #captainalaska #pacificocean #blue #mountain #ocean #jayleensalaska #captainjayleen #heralaskalife #heralaskaadventure #storiessawitfirst #yestraveljuneau #TravelersChoice @tripadvisor
